  2. 1.3 Heterogeneous networking Homogeneous Networking All device PHYs have the same capability Heterogeneous Networking Not all device PHYs have the same capability Ecma-387 offers a heterogeneous network solution that provides interoperability between both device types!

  3. 1.4 Device Types • Type A Device • Services video and data over LOS/NLOS with Trainable Antennas • Considered “high end” device • Bandwidth efficient modulation • Significant baseband DSP (equalization, FEC, etc.) • Type B Device • Services video and data over LOS with Non-Trainable Antennas • Considered “economy” device • Minimal baseband DSP (no equalization, minimal FEC, etc.)

  4. 1.2 Applications • Wireless Uncompressed / Lightly Compressed Video • 10 meters • 1 to 5 Gbps • Obstructed LOS / Strong NLOS Reflection • Wireless Docking Station • 1 meter • 1 to 5 Gbps • NLOS • Large File Download • >500 Mbps • 10 meters • LOS / NLOS • Short Range Sync&Go • 0.5 meter • LOS • >500 Mbps

  6. 2.1 Frequency Plan

  7. PHY Layer Device Types Type B Common Mode DBPSK Type A Common Mode SCBT • Mandatory Modes • SCBT • DBPSK • Optional Modes • OFDM • UEP • DQPSK • Mandatory Modes • DBPSK • Optional Modes • DQPSK • UEP DRP Beacon Type A: Type B: SCBT SCBT / OFDM / DBPSK / DQPSK / UEP DBPSK SCBT* DBPSK / DQPSK / UEP * Transmit Only

  8. 2.2 Type A PHY The Type A PHY includes two general transmission schemes, namely Single Carrier Block Transmission (SCBT), also known as Single Carrier with Cyclic Prefix, and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). For beacon transmissions and to ensure interoperability among Type A devices, a common, mandatory mode is defined based on the SCBT transmission scheme. Furthermore, a mandatory Discovery Mode is defined to allow the initial communication between Type A devices, prior to antenna training. A flexible multi-segment frame format is employed.

  9. 2.2.1 Single Carrier Block Transmission (SCBT) • Employs an adaptive length Cyclic Prefix (4 possible lengths, including 0) • Allows frequency domain equalization • Allows time domain equalization • For good performance in different multipath environments • Particularly important since the level of multipath significantly varies as a function of antenna directionality as well as the environment. • The SCBT modes: p/2-BPSK, QPSK, p/2-NS8QAM, 16QAM, UEP-QPSK and UEP-16QAM with multiple code rates

  10. 2.2.1 Single Carrier Block Transmission (SCBT) • A concatenated Reed-Solomon (RS) and convolutional code is used with for p/2-BPSK, QPSK modes. • For the larger constellations Trellis Coded Modulation is concatenated with the same RS code. • Type A SCBT supports data rates from 0.4Gbps to 6.4 Gbps, without channel bonding. • Mandatory common beaconing mode is based on p/2-BPSK at a data rate of 0.4 Gbps.

  11. 2.2.2 OFDM • Incoming data is split into two parallel branches for baseband encoding and interleaving • Eight different data rates are achieved using four different coding modes along with QPSK and 16-QAM modulation. • Reed Solomon code is concatenated with convolutional codes to provide coding gain to overcome fading channels • Eight parallel convolutional encoders are used to keep the cost of ultra-high throughput decoding under control

  12. 2.2.2 OFDM • The coding modes support diverse application requirements • Equal Error Protection (EEP) coding • Unequal Error Protection (UEP) coding • UEP mapping • MSB-only • Modes are also combined with an advanced bit interleaver to provide better performance • Efficient OFDM tone interleaver provides error resilience based on bit reversal operation at reduced complexity

  13. 2.2.3 Discovery mode and antenna training Channel bandwidth: 2.16 GHz Data Channel Discovery Channel Data Channel Data Channel • Data Channel Bit Rate: up to 6.4 Gbps • Just Antenna Tracking – No Training • High Performance Antenna Patterns • DRP • Provides QoS • Discovery Bit Rate: ~2 Mbps • Device Discovery • Antenna Training • CSMA Data Access: >1 Gbps • No QoS

  14. 2.3 Type B PHY • Type B • minimizes the complexity and power consumption of the receiver • Uses DBPSK waveform instead of p/2-BPSK • Uses Reed-Solomon (RS) FEC instead of concatenated RS and convolutional code • Uses a simplified single carrier transmission scheme • Allows for both simple coherent and non-coherent demodulation • Minimizes the implementation overhead for support interoperability with Type A devices • Uses the same frame format as Type A beacon

  15. 2.3 Type B PHY • The Type B device does not support • Cyclic prefix • Discovery mode used for antenna training • Optional • Waveforms: DQPSK, UEP-QPSK • Flexible multi-segment frame format • Multiple sectors antennas (non-trainable antennas) • Transmit antenna training sequences to assist Type A device antenna training • Transmission rate of a Type B device: 0.8 Gbps, optionally 1.6 Gbps and 3.2 Gbps.

  16. DRP Beacon Type A: Type B: SCBT SCBT / OFDM DBPSK SCBT* DBPSK / DQPSK / UEP-QPSK 3.1 A unified superframe structure MAC superframe structure * Transmit Only

  17. 3.2 Device discovery • Devices discover each other through transmission of discovery frames in the Discovery Channel. • Transmitters of discovery frames in the Discovery Channel use CSMA/CA with random backoff so that all devices have a fair and quick channel access to discover other devices. • The discovery Protocol regulates the contention based traffic load and further randomizes discovery channel access to mitigate directional deafness issue. • Based on the device types, devices follow different procedures using their own mandatory PHY modes: • Type A devices can discover each other via transmission and reception of omni-directional mode-D0 discovery frames in a peer-to-peer manner • Type B devices can discover the devices of their own types via directional mode-B0 discovery frames. • Device discovery among heterogeneous types is achieved through polling based mechanisms on a master-slave basis.

  18. 3.3 Beacon transmission • Devices send beacon/polling frames to their neighbours to exchange coordination information such as reservation of channel time or time synchronization. • Unlike omni-directional beacon transmission in ECMA-368, beacons are transmitted using directional antennas to support simultaneous connections (thus, maximizing the spatial reuse). • Devices transmit beacons in unique beacons slots within the beacon period of each superframe using the enhanced ECMA-368 Beacon Protocol.

  19. 3.3 Beacon transmission • A device might send more than one beacon because a single directional beacon might not be heard by all devices with which the device needs to communicate due to the narrower beam used in the beacon transmission. • A Type B device needs to send a Type A beacon along with each transmitted Type B beacon (referred to as a dual beacon) so that Type A devices will not interfere with the Type B devices.

  20. 3.4 Spatial reuse Data Transfer Point to Point long range, symmetric rate Multimedia Source Point to multi-Point long range, asymmetric rate Multimedia Sinks Point to multi-Point long range, asymmetric rate sync & go very short range symmetric rate omni-directional antenna possible Data Transfer Point to Point long range, symmetric rate

  21. 3.4 Spatial reuse The 60 GHz MAC needs to manage the time-frequency-spatial space Frequency Traditional MAC managed only the time-frequency plane Time Space

  22. 3.4 Spatial reuse • 60 GHz is using Modified ECMA-368 MAC Distributed MAC • Modified to accommodate Directional Antennas • Distributed MAC allows distributed coexistence • each node strives to avoid interference • inherent support for spatial reuse • Distributed MAC circumvents the central controller issue • mixed device types with different range capabilities makes central control problematic • Inherited from Ecma-368 • distributed control via device beaconing • reservation based medium access (DRP) • Modification necessary to support spatial reuse • needed to add antenna training protocol

  23. 3.5 Coexistence and interoperability Max ~10 meters, max ~6.4 Gbps TA TA (TB defers to TA when operating with mixed devices) TB TB Max ~3 meters, max~3.2 Gbps TA = Type A Device TB = Type B Device

  24. 3.6 Other features • The MAC protocol also supports … • Transmit power control • Out of band control channel • Dynamic relay transmission for blocked links
